CHAPTER III.

ChAf1Eh III.
The next night was due at ball given
by Lady Hartbury in Portland Place.
Lord Hartbury had presented my father
with the living on his estate, and we had seen
much of the family. 1t consisted of one
daughter and many sons. When the Hart
burys came to town for the season they re-
membered me, inviting me to this ball.
After my excursion into Essex had little
inclination for gaiety, but it was incumbent
on me to 90 to it.
The night was splendid, and l found the
drawing rooms full; gay scene of flowers in
profusion, brilliant chandeliers, feathers,
furbelows, fans and diamonds; ladies, young,
old and middle-aged; the men rather young,
A waltz being in progress to charming
band, waited at the door for its termina-
ton. There I was speedily spied out by
one of the young D'Arcys, who Joined me.
After the usual interrogations concerning
the healths of our respective families, John
gave me piece of information.

to be married 2"
SIS she, really?" | was nearly adding
sat last, but fortunately stopped in time.
Lady Augusta was the eldest of the family,
quite thirty years of age, a fine, handsome
woman of hdut ton. She had waited on
and on for a high title, which did not come,
though, of course, she had received many
offers. 1 inquired who was the happy
man, expecting to hear duke named. |

Delmar Gonzales. I dare say you have
heard of him,

don. Little more than a twelve-month
previously he had burst on society in me-
teor-like splendor Tue newspapers were
everlastingly describing his mansion at
South Kensington-it marbles, its pic
lures, its wonderful furniture; then his din
ners, soirees, horses, carriages; last, not
least, his heroic conduct in the war between
Chill and Peru-for though an English
man, he had served in the Peruvian army
with distinction-and his vastwealth, which
was the handspring of this adulation. So
Lady Augusta had accepted him, the high
title not being forthcoming.
II hope she will be happy" | said, sin
cerely, for she had always been very kind
to me and my sisters.
aI hope she will, returned John d Arcy.
"Augusta is a good sort. dare say they
will get on well enough"
aWell enoughl You do not speak very
enthusiastically"
''To tell you the truth" sinking his
voice confdentially, "though he's hero

in fort he was defending, and wounded a
dozen times, I'm not in love with him my

call it pride, you know, for he is rolling in
horrid lucre. His first wife was great

died some years ago, leaving everything to
him. That's why he has hooked on her

me to make my way across the room to

Riot af a COal Mine.

The union miners at the coal
works at Wilksbarre, Penn came
out on a strike Oct. l, of the coal
company refusing to make cer-
tain concessions, and the Co. sup.
piled the places of the strikers
with Hungarians and others who
who are said to work at
9Oc per day. This the old miners
resented and have been threaten
ing to drive out the intruders, but
were prevented by the presence
a numerous and heavily armed
guard.
On the 2Sth ult the guards were
absent acting as an escort for more
Hungarians who were being
brought to work the mines, and
the "scab' miners were attacked
by the strikers as they returned
from work. One volley was fired
by the attacking party by which
one man was killed and three 9TH
ers fatally wounded. The strikers
then ceased firing and attacked the
Hungarians furiously with stones
and other missiles, and it is thought
many are seriously wounded. The
"Scabs" were all armed with revol-
vers but were so panic-stricken
that they thought of nothing but
flight. Fifty more Hungarians
were put to work the next day, all
of whom are armed, and another
outbreak is feared in the near
future. The Coal Co., declare that
they will work the mines without
employing Union men if they are
forced to call the Militia to their
aid.

gress in 1861, which position he re-
signed to enter the Union Army,
which he did as Colonel, having
recruited u regiment for the SER
vice. His first promotion was from
Colonel to Maj. General.
After the war had ended he was
elected a member Of the 10th Con-
gress, in which he served as chair
man Of the committee on military
affairs. From this time forth he
remained member of Congress in
some capacity till his death, be-
coming a member of the Senate in
1871, in the place of II. Yates.
In politics he was intensely Re-
publican, but his political bias was
never permitted to swerve him
from the path Of honesty.
Senator Logan's death leaves a
vacancy in the U. s. Senate that
will be hard to fill, for men of his
power and presistency are hard to
find in public life. His successor
will of course be a Republican.

NEW YEARS GREETING.
To the Young Men and Boys.

Young men and boys we on this
first day of the year 1887 want a
few quiet words with you, and ask
your attention. You, like the boys
who have preceded you in life's
journey, on this the first day of the
New year, will form new resolu-
ions for the future, and determine
to forsake the habit and practices
that are pernecious and useful.
But the more important question
is do you really intend and expect
to reform your habits. If you are
in the habit of wasting your time
in idleness or perhaps that which
is worse, if you are wasting your
strength, money, and self respect
in gaming and drinking you can
rest assured that you will be left
behind in the race of life and be
outstripped by some one you feel
to be mentally inferior to your
selves.
In what business would you con-
slider it good recommendation to
say that, "I am first-rate Billiard
or card player" or that you can
drink as much wine, beer or liquor
as any topper? The municipality,
the State and the nation are look
ing at you to take up the burden of
government and bear it success
fully onward and upward. What
are you doing to prepare yourselves
for the duty? If on arriving at
mature manhood, you bring to the
service body weakened by vice
and dissipation and mind void of
useful knowledge, dissatisfied with
yourself, with regret for the past
and fears for the future you will as
surely fail in your life contest, as
would one under similar circum-
stances in trial of physical
strength. Boys, Young men, card
playing and revelry, may be en-
ticing and pleasant now, but the
time will come in the history of
your life when this must be aban-
doned, or you will sink to the level
of the common loafer and de-
bauchee. We call upon you then
for the sake of your own future to
on this New Years day resolve to
abandon these worthless-yes ruin
ous-practices before they become
habits strong as fetters of brass or
chains of steel.

Death Of John Alexander Logan.

Senator John A. Logan, of Illi-
nois, died at Washington d. G. Dec.
26, from the effects of brain trouble.
His death will call to mind that
the conspicuous figures of cur po-
litical arena are fast becoming de-
pleted.
The name of John A. Logan has
been connected with the history of
the country for near half century
as soldier and u statesman.
His height was above the aver
age of men, his carriage straight,
hair black and his complexion so
swarthy as TO cause some to think
that Indian blood coursed through
his veins.
Gen. Logan's exact age has new

gress, but we know that he served
Us a private in the war with Mexi-
co, and was afterward made Quar-
ternaster. He was u member of

acceptable one. than heretofore, in
asmuch as this excursion rate is
lower than that of last year.
The reduction is Opportune for
Christmas is a time for visiting old
friends and the reunion of the fam
lily at the old homestead, and the
only date on which these tickets
can be sold gives ample time for
the purchase of the necessary gifts.
Scarcely have the merry Christmas

hOnOred in the observance.

Official Change.

Recorder Jacob Weaver will re-
tire on Monday next by expiration
of term.
The country people will miss the
pleasant face to which they have
been accustomed for the last six
years, and Mr.. Weaver will retire
with the knowledge that he has
been faithful in the performance of
every duty.
His successor is gentleman
and in every way qualified for the
position and all that we can wish
for him is,,that at the end of his
servitude he may retire as full of
honor as does Jake.

A TERRIBLE accident happene d
at the town of Fostoria, at quar-
ter past eight o'clock en- Saturday
night, resulting in the fatal injury
of Albert Bailey, the engineer of
the Electric Light Works. On
Saturday evening the natural gas
was turned on at the works for the
purpose of producing steam. 1t is
thought that the engineer turned
on so much gas that it rapidly ex-
hausted the boilers, causing them
to explode. At all events they
gave way and tore the building
and plant to fragments. Bailey
was burned in the ruins and was
taken out alive, but fatally injured.
He was to have been married later
in the evening. Gov. Foster, Supt.
Corwin, and several other gentle
man left the building only a few
moments before the explosion took
place. Had they been present, no
doubt but number of them would
have been killed. The shock of the
explosion shook the entire town,
and the people, for time were
terribly alamed.-E'agle.
